7) Kathleen Sebelius resigned Thursday as secretary of Health and Human Services. Sebelius appeared before Congress many times to take the heat for the bug-ridden rollout of President Barack Obama's health care initiative.

8) The Cliven Bundy family and their supporters fly the American flag as their cattle were released by the Bureau of Land Management back onto public land outside of Bunkerville, Nev. on April 12, 2014. The Nevada cattle rancher appears to have won his week-long battle with the federal government over a controversial cattle roundup that had led to the arrest of several protesters. Bundy went head to head with the Bureau of Land Management over the removal of hundreds of his cattle from federal land, where the government said they were grazing illegally. Bundy claims his herd of roughly 900 cattle have grazed on the land along the riverbed near Bunkerville, 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas, since 1870. Photo: Jason Bean, AP

9) A huge portrait of a girl has been unfurled in a Pakistani field as part of an effort to communicate directly with Predator drone operators and humanize innocent victims of American strikes, activists say. The picture laid out in a field in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region is of a girl who activists say lost her parents in a drone strike. It is part of a campaign entitled #NotABugSplat, which draws its name from the slang term "bug splats," which Predator drone operators sometimes use to denote direct kills.

11) Nine-month-old Musa Khan yawns while being carried by his grandfather as they leave court Saturday in Lahore, Pakistan. The court has withdrawn charges of attempted murder against the toddler, the latest development in a case that provoked widespread ridicule. He was charged along with his family last week after a mob protesting gas cuts and price increases stoned police and gas company workers trying to collect overdue bills. He was apparently charged because an assistant sub-inspector complained in a crime report that the baby’s whole family had beaten him up and injured his head. Photo: ARIF ALI/AFP - Getty Images

17) NASA is building its own flying saucer as part of a project to get bigger payloads to Mars. The disk-shaped object is called a Low Density Suprsonic Decelerator, and it's due to fly for the first time this June. Journalists got an advance peek at the saucer this week at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., where it's being readied for the test flight. The saucer will be taken to Hawaii and then lofted up to an altitude of 120,000 feet (37 kilometers) on a high-altitude balloon. It'll fire a rocket engine to rise even higher, to 180,000 feet (55 kilometers). And then it'll start falling. Photo: Damian Dovarganes / AP

18) It's a trick of the eye, but what a beautiful trick! The visual effect starts with a sunlike star in the constellation Hydra, about 1,500 light-years from Earth. When that star was nearing the end of its life, it blew away its outer layers of gas to form a blue bubble in space — a planetary nebula known as Abell 33, or PN A66 33. The star fizzled out to become an unremarkable white dwarf near the center of the bubble. But from Earth's point of view, a brighter star named HD 83535 is shining in the foreground, seemingly just at the edge of the bubble. Together, Abell 33 and HD 83535 create a sparkling diamond ring in space, as seen by the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile. Photo: ESO
